The minor points (B8-B12, C13, C14, C16, C17) of the second voyage-lekerepo
trial (2026-10-08), each verified against the code and started with a test
that failed first.
- K10: optional step field `Regression:` - one command the criteria runner
allows, unpiped; plan-validator refuses one that can never run
(PLAN_STEP_REGRESSION_NOT_RUNNABLE). Any plan_version, no bump.
- K11: `On failure:` opens with revert | retry | skip | escalate, or the
validator warns (PLAN_STEP_ON_FAILURE_UNKNOWN); onFailureAction in
plan-schema.
- B8 (operator decision 2026-10-08): minors open after the last critic round
are listed numbered in the Phase 10 summary; the ones the operator picks are
fixed and get one more round (--extra-round when the 3 are spent).
- B11: plan-review dedup merges two reviewers' findings on the same file:line
with the same content (trial pair: Jaccard 0.44, overlap 0.83); the Jaccard
threshold for every other pair is unchanged.
- B12: /trekbrief Step 4c says the reviewer runs in the background and is
waited for, not "foreground, blocking".
- C13: the Phase 4 size count includes .mjs, .cjs, .mts, .cts.
- C14: --evidence shows the first output line on PASS rows.
- C16: findings-schema checks path:line citations in finding prose (error) and
in the prose around the block (warning) against the file.
- C17: git-historian gets the brief, never proposes changing a frozen file,
and names the remote from `git remote -v`.

- The pre-compact hook read only a checkpoint that started with `git commit`,
so every plan in the new `git add … && git commit` form rebuilt nothing, and
an empty match also skipped the session-state refresh. It now finds the
commit anywhere in the span and always refreshes; first test for the hook.
- A sub-bullet that carries its own command stays a criterion (folding it
left the command unrun); the shallowest bullet sets the base indent.
- Only a MINOR/SUGGESTION /code-review finding outside the range is released
from forbidding ALLOW: a MAJOR one may be a break cited at an unchanged
caller.
- `reuse` is an improvement category; the session-spec template stages too;
a negated bash 3.2 constraint, an env prefix and `bash -c` are handled.
- Stale comment, Declined-to-Judge wording and rule-key counts brought in line.
Tests fail on 7c11c2a first (9 of 24).

voyage-lekerepo trial 2 (2026-10-08), report section A; the operator decided
they are fixed before the next release:
- A1: a /code-review finding whose category is simplification, efficiency,
style or readability enters as CODE_REVIEW_IMPROVEMENT (MINOR), not MAJOR.
- A2: recommended_action is the engine's own fix when transcribed, otherwise
a test-first step; never the failure scenario dressed as a remedy.
- A3: a /code-review finding outside the exact range it was given is declined
and listed, but no longer holds ALLOW back; /security-review's still does.
- A4: the manifest must_contain recipe uses grep -E -e ... -- so a pattern
like --sep is not read as an option.
- A5: indented sub-points belong to their criterion (counted), and a
criterion with sub-points and no command warns BRIEF_SC_SUBPOINTS.
- A6: a brief requiring bash 3.2 whose criterion runs plain bash warns
BRIEF_SC_BASH_NOT_PINNED; /trekbrief proposes /bin/bash.
- A7: the plan template's and /trekplan's checkpoints stage the step's files.
Tests fail on 5f9faee first (tests/lib/trial2-fixes.test.mjs, 11 of 14).

Independent read-only review of c56f852..2d29966 (2026-10-08), each defect
reproduced by the reviewer; each new test fails on that code.
- test-lock green ran ANY allowlisted command: `green --cmd "git status"`
marked a red step green and the stop guard let it stop. The lock now
stores the step's test command (`lock --cmd`); `green` runs only that
one (a different --cmd, or a lock without one, exits 2). trekexecute D1
calls `green` with no command, which also removes the quoting hazard.
- plan-gate --accept-open worked at round 1 and passed the gate; it now
refuses while rounds are left.
- findings-schema --repo-root swallowed a following flag, or took a root
that does not exist, and silently skipped the line check: exit 2.
- brief-review-stamp hashed only the body, so a changed `framing` or
`research_topics` stayed "current"; it now covers the reviewed
frontmatter too (only the post-review stamps are left out).
- red-proof red_kind read an assertion message naming SyntaxError as a
load error; the signatures are now specific.

voyage-lekerepo trial (2026-10-06) point 6, operator decision 2026-10-08
(«samme skala, og du spør»): the critics rated a non-discriminating test
minor in round 3, there was no way to fix it after the last round, it was
built, and /trekreview called the same weakness MAJOR (MISSING_TEST).
- plan-critic, scope-guardian: rate on the review catalogue's tiers; a test
that cannot fail on a wrong implementation is major, never minor.
- plan-gate: an open MAJOR stops (PLAN_GATE_OPEN_MAJOR: revise and run the
next round; PLAN_GATE_OPEN_MAJOR_FINAL after the last round: ask the
operator). --accept-open records "build as is" after their yes, bound to
the round and the plan hash; never for a blocker.
- trekplan Phase 9: REVISE after the last round asks fix now (one extra
round) or build as is, instead of carrying the majors silently.

voyage-lekerepo trial (2026-10-06) point 14, operator decision 2026-10-08
(«alle agenter, ny briefsjekk bare ved endring»):
- trekplan: the "Adaptive" hard rule (a 10-file project does not need 7
agents) contradicted Phase 5 ("All agents run for all codebase sizes");
it is gone, in line with quality before cost.
- brief-review-stamp.mjs: /trekbrief stamps the brief body when its
brief-reviewer gate passes; /trekplan Phase 4b skips its own review only
while the stamp is current. Stale (edited) or absent (another producer,
or a gate that did not pass) reviews as before. Additive optional
frontmatter fields, documented in Handover 1.

voyage-lekerepo end-to-end trial (2026-10-06), report points 1, 5, 11:
- engine-findings: recommended_action is "Fix <file:line> so this no longer
happens: <failure scenario>", not "Resolve: <title>" (8 of 8 engine
findings were set aside as actionability:empty); the coordinator never
sets an engine finding aside for Actionability.
- findings-schema --repo-root: a cited line past the end of an existing
file is FINDING_LINE_OUT_OF_RANGE, so Phase 5's bounded re-ask fixes it
before the coordinator sees it. The reviewers' instruction said "the
actual line number from the diff"; it now says the file's own line,
never the patch's.
- fill-finding-ids.mjs: the coordinator (no shell) writes @@ID_<n>@@ and
trekreview Phase 7 computes them over (file, line, rule_key); an
unresolved placeholder or a wrong 40-hex id fails. The 4-field id with
`title` the docs named is gone; the code always used three.

voyage-lekerepo end-to-end trial (2026-10-06), report points 2, 3, 4, 9:
11 of 13 brief criteria were NOT RUN at review with no warning in /trekbrief;
a plan `git grep` criterion passed validator, gate and three critic rounds,
then felled the run in Phase 7; the End-to-end field and Phase 7's text
search never met; a prose Verify left the test command undefined.
- criteria-runner: runnableCheck() screens a declared check without running
it (same allowlist; an npm run script is not looked up at write time);
/bin/bash tests/<script> allowed; the plan report carries end_to_end,
verified when a passed criterion runs a step's End-to-end command (the
older text form still counts).
- plan-validator 1.8: PLAN_VERIFICATION_NOT_RUNNABLE,
PLAN_STEP_VERIFY_NOT_RUNNABLE, PLAN_END_TO_END_NOT_RUNNABLE,
PLAN_END_TO_END_NOT_VERIFIED (the gate inherits them).
- brief-validator: BRIEF_SC_NOT_RUNNABLE warning; /trekbrief offers a
tests/ script; brief-reviewer no longer proposes unrunnable commands.
- trekexecute: Phase 7 copies end_to_end from the runner; Verify's test
command is its first backticked span.
Measured on the trial's own brief and plan: 11 warnings (the 11 NOT RUN),
and the plan stops on V5 git grep and the unlisted End-to-end command.

CLAUDE.md command table: each row from its owner (trekplan from order 3,
trekexecute from order 1, trekreview from order 5).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Wave 1, order 3 (P3 plan mode as the start, P2 design as its own part, P9
plan side). Contracts K3-K6 for the later merges.
- plan_version 1.8 (1.7 plans stay valid): Test first on every step, one
End-to-end ("run the thing") step, optional Interface in / Interface out /
Review focus fields, a ceremony class in the header (absent =
architectural), and for architectural plans a ## Design part: module map
without cycles, architecture rules that name their enforcer and the step
that proves them, a requirements check asked as keep / change.
- K3 lib/validators/plan-gate.mjs: the critic verdict is recorded INSIDE the
plan (Claude Code's plan approval hands a hook only the plan file's text),
bound to the hash taken before the reviewers read it; 0 go / 1 stop / 2
could not run; at most 3 critic rounds, then stop and ask.
- K5 lib/verification/arch-rules.mjs: runs the target repo's own
dependency-cruiser or import-linter (installs nothing; 2 = not measured,
never green); --prove --rule shows pass -> fail on a planted violation of
that rule -> pass. Verified against dependency-cruiser 18.5.0 and
import-linter 2.15; madge 8.0.0 left out (missed a planted .mjs cycle).
- K6 lib/verification/plan-scope-sweep.mjs: changed files no step names.
- /trekplan Phases 8-10: design part, bounded critic loop, the gate before
"execute", a plan-mode path through ExitPlanMode (not yet run end to end
inside plan mode). plan-critic 10 -> 12 dimensions; scope-guardian checks
the ceremony.
- Fixed on the way: plan-validator and plan-review-dedup used the
file://argv[1] main guard (no-op under a symlink or a space); CRLF plans
failed every manifest; the dedup dropped finding severity.

Operator decision 2026-10-06. Before, a WARN that existed only because a
reviewer or engine never reported (e.g. /security-review without an origin
remote) mapped to verdict-gate exit 0, so a review nobody performed in full
was green. Now `missing-reviewer:` / `unattributable-payload` in the JSON
block's allow_blocked_by is exit 2 (could not decide, never green); a WARN
for a MAJOR or a set-aside finding still passes with its reasons. A 1.1
review must carry allow_blocked_by.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
An adversarial read of d88245c reproduced 15 problems; all fixed here, each
with a test that fails on the old code.
- verdict-gate: a greener verdict must be backed by the LAST fence being a
`json` block of the right shape, with no BLOCKER in the JSON (any case),
in `## Findings (BLOCKER)`, or a differing finding-id list; two verdict
lines and more than one file argument are exit 2. ({}, null, lowercase
"blocker", a trailing ```jsonc and a later json fence all gave exit 0.)
- engine-findings: a transcribed "narrower" key can no longer lower an
engine tier; absolute paths under --repo-root match the scope; "12" lines
parse; an empty scope is an error; out-of-scope engine findings are
unverified (`engine:out-of-scope`) and forbid ALLOW.
- recurrence: the catch-all engine keys and keys normalised from unknown
ones are never proposed; the same unfixed finding in two iterations is not
a recurrence; proposals are validated before they are offered; \r/U+2028
and damaged markers are refused; writes go through a symlinked CLAUDE.md.
Prose points --repo at the session directory, not the git toplevel.
- Workflow substrate: engines are counted from what arrived, and the
verdict's floor is recomputed from the coordinator's findings; now tested
by running the script with stubbed Workflow globals. Two literal NUL bytes
written as \u0000 (git saw the file as binary).
- Trimming keeps Pass 1's "Also flagged by" provenance; `## Declined to
Judge` and remediation steps are required from review_version 1.1 only
(N-1); the zero-diff review now carries the JSON block the gate needs.

/trekexecute no longer builds steps itself. Each plan step is built by one
fresh helper (new agent step-implementer: opus, effort high, no Agent tool)
and judged by one controller (a general helper on opus) that reads the
diff from a recorded start_sha and gives two verdicts, spec and quality.
Fix rounds go up, maximum 5: three fixes by a fresh helper, then back to
the plan, then to the operator. No cheaper-model ladder.
Proof is a command, never the model's word:
- lib/verification/red-proof.mjs: the step's test must fail at the start
point and pass at the result (exit 0/1/2; 2 is never green). Reproduces
the 02243c6 red-first measurement (6 of 55) through the shim fixture.
- lib/verification/test-integrity.mjs: the floor guard on the diff
(removed asserts, skipped/deleted tests, muted checks, stubs, loosened
thresholds). Over the last 150 commits: 149 clean, 1 real finding.
- lib/verification/done-line.mjs: DONE step N only when the test command
exits 0.
Test first is required from plan_version 1.8. The test lock (K8) is used
through its CLI and reported as not-locked while it is missing. A run
stops only on a closed list of four classes; every other call goes into a
decision log with its cost if wrong. Without a passing run-the-thing
criterion the result is not verified end to end, never green.
Handover 5 gains optional per-step start_sha, report_path, red_proof,
test_lock, fix_rounds (0-5) and run-level decisions and end_to_end; old
progress files still validate and resume.
No isolation on the helper: measured, a worktree-isolated subagent
branches from the default branch (02f320f), not the executor's HEAD
(2c89a6b), so it would miss the earlier steps.

Ordre 5 (wave 1, P11 + P5), review_version 1.1.
- K7: `verdict: ALLOW | WARN | BLOCK` is required in review.md (strict
error, soft warning for 1.0 reviews). New CLI lib/review/verdict-gate.mjs:
0 = ALLOW/WARN, 1 = BLOCK, 2 = could not decide (never green); a verdict
greener than the file's own BLOCKERs or JSON block is exit 2. Realpath
main guard (the old file:// guard exits 0 under a symlink - measured).
- No finding is struck for length: succinctness trims only MINOR/SUGGESTION
text (catalogue tier), keeps BLOCKER/MAJOR whole, counts trims; the
coordinator lists what it declined to judge.
- Claude Code's /code-review and /security-review run as the engine via the
Skill tool (never --fix/--comment/--post/ultra); lib/review/engine-findings.mjs
turns their findings into a reviewer payload; two catalogue keys
(CODE_REVIEW_DEFECT, SECURITY_REVIEW_VULNERABILITY), catalogue 12 -> 14.
An engine that did not run forbids ALLOW.
- Every BLOCKER is written as a numbered `### Step R<n>` with its source
finding (strict error REVIEW_MISSING_REMEDIATION_STEP).
- P5: lib/review/recurrence.mjs - a finding class in two review.md files
(current + git history, no new store) becomes one proposal, routed by the
catalogue's memory_route; written only between Voyage markers in
.claude/rules/voyage-review-lessons.md under a size budget, CLAUDE.md gets
a pointer only; the operator approves every line (Phase 8.7).
- Workflow substrate: catalogue enum in step; a missing reviewer or engine
forbids ALLOW there too (it returned ALLOW on zero findings before).
- Fixtures review-run-A/B said WARN over a BLOCKER; now BLOCK.

P1 (order 2, wave 1). /trekbrief puts the task in a size class
(ceremony: small|bounded|architectural, K1; heaviest in doubt, said
aloud, overridable, only moved up) that sets the question budget and the
review cap, and asks one round of questions: facts looked up, never
asked; recommendation first; ranked by impact x uncertainty with a
visible Deferred list; stop when the next three answers can be predicted.
"høres bra ut", "gjør som du vil" and an empty answer are not approval.
K2: lib/util/approval-log.mjs, an append-only hash-chained log in the
target repo (.claude/voyage/approvals.jsonl) bound to the approved
content's sha256; append/verify (0/1/2), answer, digest. Committed by
lib/util/artifact-commit.mjs: the log always, the brief and plan only
with artifact_store: git (operator decision 2026-10-06). /trekplan
Phase 1 halts on a broken, diverged, missing or mismatched log entry;
Phase 11 logs and commits an explicit plan approval before any handoff.
Both new brief fields are optional: no brief_version bump. The

Operator rule (2026-10-05): standard is Opus 5.5 at reasoning effort High. Four retrieval agents (architecture-mapper, dependency-tracer, git-historian, task-finder) pinned effort: medium in frontmatter, which overrides the session level, so every /trekplan exploration ran part of its swarm below the floor. They came from fdd3ad8 on the premise that unpinned agents inherit high; e4e37f9 corrected that (unpinned inherits the session; Opus 5.5 defaults to medium), so the reason for medium was already gone. All four now pin high; the other agents keep following the session (operator's choice). docs/profiles.md (one bullet for the eight pinned agents), CLAUDE.md and README.md updated; the model-default sentence stays. Dated decision records and CHANGELOG untouched.
Red: 4 of 5 new tests fail on the pre-fix files - effort floor over all agents (offenders: the four), the four pin exactly high, no live doc says retrieval runs at medium (hits docs/profiles.md:76, CLAUDE.md:85, README.md:806), profiles.md names the four as high. Known-positive control green on arrival.
Verify 153/153 (agent-frontmatter, doc-consistency). SC9 probe: npm test green under a scratch HOME with CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA empty, nothing under its plugin data dir. Suite 1393 (1391/0/2).

Phase 9 said 'append to ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/trekexecute-stats.jsonl; if it is not set, skip silently' - the Bash tool env never carries it. It now runs stats-append.mjs trekexecute with the record on stdin, the /trekbrief Phase 7 shape, and reports a written:false. The gates_mode_flag_override record was prose with no writer; it now has an event-emit block (fixed literal payload: --gates is a boolean flag) and a documented shape {ts, event, known_event, payload:{flag, signal_effort}}. Phase 8's three event blocks spliced ${PLAN_PATH} (set in an earlier Bash call that does not survive) and ${WAVE_COUNT} (never assigned) into a double-quoted payload, so a literal run printed payload-not-json, and the decline reason was operator free text in a shell argument. Payloads are now single-quoted with {plan-path} / {wave-count} placeholders and the literal label hold-for-review; each call runs on its own and a written:false is printed and passed. docs/architecture.md and the jsonl-schemas rows (writer, measured line_refs) follow.
Red: 7 of 7 new tests fail on the pre-fix text (Phase 9 writer + no 'skip silently', Phase 9 record lands, no bare ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/...jsonl target, no shell expansion in --payload, the three Phase 8 blocks land known events when run as written in a fresh shell, the written:false sentence, the override writer and shape).

event-emit returned {written:false, reason:'CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA unset'} whenever the harness did not export the variable - the normal case for the Bash tool - so /trekexecute's Phase 8 events never landed. It now resolves the directory through stats-append's resolveStatsDir (one resolver; opts.path still wins, so intent-approval is unchanged). The CLI uses the realpath isMain() guard (the file:// guard was a silent no-op under a symlink or a path with a space) and exits 1 on every written:false - usage error, payload-not-json, failed write - instead of always 0. KNOWN_EVENTS gains main-merge-approved, main-merge-declined and gates_mode_flag_override, which /trekexecute emits by design. Header, intent-approval docstring (comment only), docs/operations.md and the README autonomy sentence (wrong state names, 'records each transition') updated.
Red: 10 of 20 tests fail on the pre-fix code - 7 new (CLI lands with CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA empty / absent, unwritable target exit 1, usage error exit 1, symlink, space path, known events) and 3 inverted contracts. Regression guards (green on arrival): never throws when unwritable; no second copy of the fallback directory name.
Inverted (the contract this changes, not deleted): emit with no CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA (silent skip) -> lands under a pinned HOME; never throws when unwritable -> a genuinely unwritable target (env {} now resolves to the real home); resolveStatsPath({}) === null -> the fallback path; malformed --payload exit 0 -> exit 1.

/trekexecute writes run status stopped (dirty-tree stop, entry-condition stop, escalation) and step status blocked (Step 0 sandbox sentinel); the validator rejected the first and warned on the second. Both are real states lib/util/session-orders.mjs already reads (ENDED_BAD), so the validator learns them. The step-status list is exported as PROGRESS_STEP_STATUSES (was an inline literal) so tests check prose against it instead of keeping a copy. docs/HANDOVER-CONTRACTS.md Handover 5 rows updated.

/trekbrief Phase 7 says the writer adds order_id / order_claimed_at /
order_reason (never typed by the model) and that the yardstick joins use on
order_id; the fixture row lists them in `fields`, EXPORT_DENYLIST names them,
and its stale line_ref (657-672) now reads 961-976; the allowlist header
names them as dropped; docs/architecture.md Stats explains them.
/trekbrief --approve now runs Phase 7 after a successful stamp, with fixed
values (mode "approve", 0 turns, brief_quality/research_topics/auto_research
from the brief's frontmatter, auto_result "manual", intent_approved true).
Valgt fordi PM 04.10 (point 3): fix the code, not the criterion - the
approval must leave the trekbrief record. Measured hole: okf-wiki v1-k has

Verified 2026-10-02 against code.claude.com/docs/en/model-config and
/sub-agents. On the Anthropic API opus -> Opus 5.5 and sonnet ->
Sonnet 5.5 (default effort medium), fable -> Fable 5.1 (default high).
Three more claims in the same section were false and are corrected:
an agent without effort: inherits the session level, not the model
default; MAX_THINKING_TOKENS=0 has no effect on Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5
or Fable; effort is capped by maxEffortLevel or an organization cap.
"Mythos-class" is replaced by the docs' own wording. History is
untouched (CHANGELOG, the measurement docs, the Path C line).
STATE said seven files but listed six; the red pin found exactly
these six. The end-state registry line names a CC changelog fact and
stays as history.

README claimed four security layers including scoped per-child tool
access (gone with the launched children), an auto-dispatched Phase 7.6
recovery session and a launch template; architecture.md still pointed at
launch.sh. They now describe what 6.0.0 does: session specs plus
orders.md, a recovery order for a session the user opens, three layers.
operations.md gets a status note instead of a rewrite (decision record).

Operator decision 27.09.2026: Voyage works the PM way, so nothing in it
starts Claude Code. Work that needs another session becomes an order plus
a starter line the user gives a session they open themselves; Voyage
never starts the session.
/trekexecute's multi-session path (Phase 2.6) now prepares one wave at a
time: worktree per session, then lib/util/session-orders.mjs writes one
order per session (worktree, steps, done-condition, starter) plus
orders/wave.json, and the run stops. Running the same command again reads
each session's progress file (status mode), merges sequentially with
push-before-cleanup as before, and prepares the next wave. Phase 2.5 skips
the destructive pre-flight while a wave is in flight. Phase 7.6 recovery is
handed over the same way. Hard rule 21: never start Claude Code.
Removed with it, because they existed only for launched children: the
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY billing check (and its dry-run line and Hard rule 1
exception), the hooks-fire version precheck, the safety preamble, the
scoped-tool/turn/budget flags, templates/headless-launch-template.md, the
decomposer's launch.sh (now orders.md), /trekplan's "launch", the README
billing and MCP tuning sections, and scripts/q3-cache-prefix-experiment.mjs
(an experiment that spawned the binary; its results stay in docs/).
/trekresearch's deep-research pre-gate no longer runs the binary for its
version; the post-hoc check was already the authoritative guard.
Chose orders + starters over in-session subagents because the order's done
criterion asks for exactly that, and because /trekexecute disallows the
Agent tool on purpose (Hard rule 10); reopening that is a separate change.
Gate: 54 -> 0 hit lines outside EXEMPT. npm test 1250 (1245 pass, 0 fail,
5 skipped: 3 are the retired-reference scan without its local list).
verify.sh 7/0. The fixture run (tests/lib/session-orders.test.mjs) writes
two orders and wave.json for wave 1 and leaves a trap binary untouched.

The annotation surface's provenance is now described as the pattern it
follows (pencil toggle, intent buttons, popover form, structured export)
rather than by naming a repository that no longer exists. Touches the
plugin/package descriptions, README, docs/architecture.md, the v5.0.3
CHANGELOG entry, and two comments in scripts/annotate.mjs and its test.
Retired-reference check: 12 hits in 7 files -> 0 (content and path names).

New § Stability section: the PM's 8/8 and 7/8 on ea66a98, the cause (correct
lower-case verdicts, 3 of 34 case-8 and 2 of 22 case-6 recorded replies), the
grader changes and why, and the measured result on 7f7161b: case 8 12 of 12
(10 alone + 2 full), case 6 8 of 8 (6 + 2), two full runs 8 of 8 each. The
status block and "every full run gave 8 of 8" now name whose sample that was.
Correction to 687710a's message: it said a grader file carries only
`pattern`. The docs list `flags` for the regex grader. The letter classes
stay, for the reason now written in the doc: a flag applies to the whole
pattern, and the opposite-verdict refusal must stay case-sensitive.
Suite after git add: 1236 tests, 1234/0/2. No version bump: plugin code
is untouched.

New § Stability: why case 4 was unstable (it could halt on the intent gate,
5 of 6 here before the fix, 6 of 12 and 7 of 10 in the PM re-measurement),
the three changes, the case-4 known-positive (3 of 3 passed with the gate's
code off until names-code; then 0 of 3), and the says-fail cause left
unmeasured (the failing trace was deleted; 0 of 13 kept replies used
another spelling).
After the fix (a384ce6): three full runs (one --runs 3, two --runs 1),
every case 5 of 5, each full run 8 of 8; case 4 alone 10 of 10, 15 of 15
in total. The status line no longer lets 8 of 8 read as a stable state.

v2 = eight cases, expectations committed in 3892a83 before the run.
Run 1: 8/8 cases, 36/36 graders, 65 s, $1.97 (list-price estimate).
Known-positive for the intent-gate case, in a scratch copy: --check made
to accept everything → 0.75 (names-code fails). Removing only the gate's
command line from trekplan.md did NOT fell it (1.00): the child rebuilt the
call from the surrounding prose — the case measures the gate's effect; the
exact line is pinned by the unit test that executes it. One green run of
case 5 does not prove the instability gone; that needs more runs.

M3: the header claimed "reflowing a paragraph keeps the approval"; joining
lines gives STALE (PM probe iii-c). It now says what keeps the approval
(indentation, in-line spacing, blank lines, CRLF) and that joining or
splitting lines makes it stale — erring safe. Also states the one-section
and code-block/comment rules from M1.
M7: the trekreview exemption is read from the brief's own frontmatter, so a
relabelled brief walks past the gate — the same trust class as self-stamping.
Now said in the module header, HANDOVER-CONTRACTS and /trekplan's gate prose.
HANDOVER-CONTRACTS also names both brief modes the --approve path reaches.
Red 097bae8 (M3, M7) → green. Suite 1224: 1222 pass / 0 fail / 2 skip.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
M1: headings inside fenced code blocks and HTML comments are text, not
headings, and ## Intent / ## Goal must each appear exactly once. A second
section, an example section in a code block or comment, or a '## ' line in
a code block inside Intent no longer carries the old approval: check gives
INVALID (duplicate) or STALE, stamp refuses a duplicate. A plain brief
hashes exactly as before (pinned), so no stamped brief goes stale.
Re-run of the PM's 29 probes: vi-a, vi-b, vii-a, vii-b now stop; the rest
unchanged. The PM's p7c probe was a no-op (its replace string is not in the
base brief); vii-c is covered by its own test, red on 66e1fa1.
M2: /trekbrief --approve takes <project-dir | brief-file>. New
intent-approval.mjs --resolve decides: a directory → <dir>/brief.md and
/trekplan --project; a file → itself and /trekplan --brief. Phase 4h and the
stamp line use {BRIEF_PATH}; /trekplan's halt table names
/trekbrief --approve {brief_path}, which works on both brief modes, and so
does the gate's hint. HANDOVER-CONTRACTS' "open to every producer's brief"
is now true. Chose fixing the path over rewording the contract because two
real briefs (docs/*-brief.md) had no approval path at all.
Red ff760ed 9/29 → green 29/29. Suite 1219: 1217 pass / 0 fail / 2 skip.

New lib/stats/stats-append.mjs: one record on stdin, appended to
<data dir>/<kind>-stats.jsonl. The data dir is CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA, else
~/.claude/plugins/data/voyage-ktg-plugin-marketplace (the yardstick's
default). A failed write exits 1 with a reason: reported, never silent.
/trekbrief Phase 7 and /trekplan Phase 12 now run it instead of
"append to ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/…; skip silently". intent-approval's
resolveApprovalDataDir delegates to the same resolver.
Chose a stdin heredoc over a --json argument because a JSON record in a
shell argument breaks on quotes in task text. Only trekbrief and trekplan
are rewired (økt 2's countable form needs exactly those two); the other
commands' stats prose is unchanged and docs/architecture.md says so.
Red a358059 7/7 → green 7/7. Suite 1208: 1206 pass / 0 fail / 2 skip.

docs/proevesett.md records what the suite covers and what it does not, how to
run it, the verbatim pass/fail definition with its source, and the first run:
6 of 7 cases (graders 25 of 26), 7 claude -p children, 54 s.
The red case, review-requires-project, lost only its text grader: the child
paraphrased a guard that lives in prose. A diagnostic re-run passed, so it is
unstable, not broken, and it stays red - loosening the pattern after the run
would fit the grader to the result.
Known-positive shown in a scratch copy: with the finding-ID check disabled in
review-validator.mjs, review-validate-flags-bad-finding-id drops from 1.0 to 0.6.
Also recorded, measured by probe: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} is substituted in the
expanded command text but empty in the child's Bash env, and the plugin
directory is readable from the child's sandbox.
Veikart step 4 uses the suite as its yardstick: a rule change that lowers n stops.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Veikart steg 1, økt 1 av 2. The three holes measured in the grounds:
(1) ## Intent / ## Goal were only checked for existence, (2) no approval
marker existed, (3) brief-approved was emitted only on the auto path.
- lib/validators/intent-approval.mjs: --check / --stamp. The marker is
intent_approved_hash (sha256 over normalized ## Intent + ## Goal) +
intent_approved_at. Editing either section after approval → STALE.
- /trekplan Phase 1 (Read the brief, both --brief and --project): runs
--check and HALTS on BRIEF_INTENT_NOT_APPROVED / _STALE / _INVALID with
the remedy spelled out; an unrunnable check halts too.
- /trekbrief Phase 4h (before the Phase 5 fork, asked even in --quick):
shows Intent + Goal verbatim, AskUserQuestion Approve / Revise / Leave;
only "Approve" runs --stamp. --stamp emits brief-approved, so the manual
(default) path records it; the auto path's own emission is removed.
New mode /trekbrief --approve <project-dir> = Phase 4h alone.
- README, CLAUDE.md, command-modes, HANDOVER-CONTRACTS §Handover 1,
jsonl-schemas (trekbrief-stats gains intent_approved).
Valgt ingen brief_version-bump fordi skjemaendringen er rent additiv (to
valgfrie felt) og kravet sitter i /trekplan — enhver produsents brief kan
godkjennes via /trekbrief --approve uten produsentendring. Valgt eget
--check-kall i stedet for et flagg på brief-validator fordi --brief-stien
i dag ikke kjører validatoren i det hele tatt; et nytt validatorkall der
ville også stoppe på andre feil. Valgt fallback-datamappe = målestokkens
(plugins/data/voyage-…) fordi CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA er tom i Bash-miljøet og
event-emits egen fallback er stille skip — slik ble brief-approved 0 records.
What the marker does NOT prove (module header, command prose, contract):
same user, same machine — any session can stamp. A trace, not a signature.
Suite 1183 → 1201 (1199/0/2). Mutants M1–M5 (stale check off, check
always valid, gate line removed, stamp emits nothing, no normalization)
each fell ≥ 1 test. yardstick unchanged: RED, 1 of 3 countable.

An earlier pass scored the same 16 rows from README.md and CLAUDE.md alone and
landed on full 4 / partial 5 / none 7. Re-reading the rows in commands/, agents/,
lib/, hooks/ and tests/ moves three of them and corrects five underlying claims:
- P3 full -> partial. plan-critic is prose ("if blockers are found: revise the
plan"), not a gate. The plan is never committed by the pipeline, and execution
starts on the word `execute`. What is hard is the plan_version 1.7 manifest.
- P9 full -> partial. Exit-code-as-truth and the Phase 7.5 audit are real, but
trekexecute says verbatim "do not block on test-first failures", and nothing
protects a test file from being rewritten during a fix.
- P10 none -> partial. The docs-only pass missed tests/: the config regression
suite and a scored gold eval were there all along. The honest remaining gap is
CI (zero workflow files) and a live-agent eval, not "no evals".
Corrected without moving a verdict: --gates is boolean; /trekreview's input is a
SHA-range diff, not a PR; no hook anywhere returns an "ask" decision; nothing in
the pipeline writes to a memory file.
Result: full 2 of 16, partial 8 of 16, none 6 of 16. Every row carries a file
pointer so a later claim of "we closed that" can be checked against a denominator.
Also records what is worth borrowing from a third-party MIT implementation of the
same playbook, with credit, and what is not: its eval runner and CI example both
invoke Claude Code from code, which this repo prohibits.
No behaviour change. Suite unchanged at 1161 (1159/0/2).

The delegated-orchestration bake-off (T1 section 5) was specified in June and never run, and
nothing said whether it should be. The operator declined it on 2026-09-18, so section 5 now
carries a STATUS block in the same form section 6 got when its PoC was run and declined.
Why it is a decline and not a postponement: the measurement's positive branch is "adopt
delegated orchestration", which the balance analysis lists under Explicitly NOT recommended
(CC-26 lean-NO). Running it would have reopened a settled decision without saying so. The
end-state direction chosen 2026-09-17 is to finish and freeze the present form. The cheaper
synthetic instrument proposed alongside it is not run either.
Nothing is rewritten: the design stays as the record of what was specified, and reviving it
is a new operator decision. This is the same mechanism the end-state gate measures, so the
experiment closes by the decision being written down rather than by code changing.
End-state gate E-03: open -> closed. Experiments 3 -> 2 of 3 (STORM and the deep-research
opt-in remain). Registry integrity intact. Suite 1081 (1079/0/2), run on a clean export of
the index.

gemini-bridge is dropped by operator directive (three repetitions). The drop is
permanent, not a wait-for-SDK-upgrade state, so the change clears every LIVE
surface that could still steer a run toward the agent and leaves the historical
record alone.
Live surfaces cleared: agents/gemini-bridge.md deleted; trekresearch (bridge
launch block, --local help, high-effort always-on pair, stats record,
degradation list), trekplan, trekbrief, research-orchestrator (mode table,
agent table, prompting block, summary line), README (feature prose, mode table,
agent prose, mermaid EXTERNAL node, conditional legend, optional-MCP
requirement, --local section), CLAUDE.md, settings.json (the whole
trekresearch.geminiBridge block), both templates, architecture.md,
command-modes.md.
trekplan high-effort Adversarial Pass 2 now degrades EXPLICITLY: it emits its
section with status "unavailable, skipped" instead of failing or vanishing. A
high-effort plan carrying no Pass 2 marker is indistinguishable from one whose
Pass 2 crashed, which is the failure mode this wording exists to prevent.
gemini_used is deliberately KEPT as a vestigial trekresearch stats field pinned
to false. Removing it would break the observability export schema for existing
consumers, and the directive was about the agent, not the field.
Not touched: CHANGELOG history and the measurement/decision docs keep their
gemini references. They record what a past version did or what was measured
then; rewriting them is the same defect class as bumping a version string
inside a measurement doc.
Driven test-first. Five new pins in tests/lib/doc-consistency.test.mjs, verified
RED before the edits, including a KNOWN-POSITIVE CONTROL asserting the
historical records still DO carry gemini references — so the empty result on
live surfaces is a measurement and not a broken query (Verifiseringsloven
ansikt 4). Agent inventory 24 -> 23 (20 spawnable + 3 orchestrator reference
docs); the <example>-block floor moves 34 -> 32 because an agent legitimately
left the inventory, not because examples went missing from a surviving one.
Docs: docs/T1-cc26-delegated-orchestration.md §8 item 3 claimed both the §6
synthesis-agent PoC and the §5 bake-off were "designed but unbuilt". That was
written in S7 and falsified the same afternoon by S12, which ran the §6 PoC and
recorded Δ main-context (faithful flow) = 0.0%, NEGATIVE. The stale wording is
what caused the settled PoC to be re-ordered as new work on 2026-09-02, so it is
struck rather than deleted and §6 gained a RUN AND DECLINED status block. The
finding is structural, not stochastic: Phase 5 spawns the exploration swarm
foreground (trekplan.md:158,338-341), so the outputs are already resident in
main before Phase 7 — delegating only the Phase-7 digest evicts nothing.
Also measured 2026-09-03 (CC 2.1.259): claude -p --output-format stream-json
runs on subscription auth with no ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and now emits a
subagent_stats block, so S12's environment-block premise is half stale. Recorded
in §8 item 4. It lowers the cost of §5; it changes nothing about §6.
Suite 1041 (1039/0/2), up from 1036 by exactly the five tests added.

computeVerdict counted only the findings handed to it (reasoned.kept), so a
finding removed by Pass 2 or Pass 3, and a reviewer whose payload was thrown
away or never arrived, were arithmetically identical to a finding that never
existed. All three pushed the verdict toward ALLOW.
Measured before the fix (probes, 2026-09-01):
- a BLOCKER with a 101-character title -> ALLOW (Pass 2 succinctness)
- a payload with one ad-hoc rule_key is skipped WHOLE at ingest, taking a
valid BLOCKER sibling with it -> ALLOW
- a reviewer that never reported -> ALLOW
Pass 3's own no-citation / unknown-rule_key branches turned out unreachable
through runContract (validateFindings rejects those payloads first), so the
reachable exposure was Pass 2 plus the skipped/absent reviewer.
THE OPEN DESIGN DECISION, and why it went against the order's default.
The order proposed: indeterminate file-existence YES, plain succinctness NO
("a too-long finding is not an uncertain finding"). I kept the first and
overrode the second, on one principle:
A removal is `dropped` only when the test REFUTED the finding as a claim
about this codebase. Every other removal is `unverified`.
Succinctness and actionability read a `.length`. They never examine the claim,
so they cannot establish the finding is unreal - and dropping a BLOCKER for a
101-character title is precisely the fail-open shape being fixed. Three things
settled it:
1. Under the order's default the fix would have been almost inert. Pass 3's
drop branches are unreachable via runContract, so leaving Pass 2 out would
have left the only reachable finding-level exposure open.
2. Cost asymmetry, priced rather than asserted: the verdict is not a gate.
Handover 6 feeds `findings` filtered to BLOCKER+MAJOR into /trekplan
(commands/trekplan.md:218); `verdict` is optional metadata
(docs/HANDOVER-CONTRACTS.md:353). Nothing loops or re-plans on WARN. So a
false `unverified` costs WARN plus a printed reason; a false drop costs a
silent ALLOW over a live BLOCKER.
3. unknown-rule_key joins them for the same reason: an ad-hoc key is a real
defect wearing the wrong label, and v5.1.1 high-effort mode already KEEPS
those, normalised to PLAN_EXECUTE_DRIFT. Refuting them at normal effort
while keeping them at high effort would be incoherent.
no-citation stays a drop: a finding whose file is empty or whose line is
negative names no location, so it makes no checkable claim at all - the one
deterministic refutation, and what the Pass 3 prose already said it was.
Iron Law: tests/lib/coordinator-contract.test.mjs first, red (missing export +
the three measured ALLOWs), then production code. Two existing assertions were
updated AFTER implementation as contract changes, not to make the red pass.
A known-positive control pins that ALLOW is still reachable - without it,
"no ALLOW" is not a fail-closed contract, only a broken one.
lib/review/coordinator-contract.mjs
+ classifySuppression / REFUTING_REASONS / UNVERIFIED_REASONS - one
vocabulary owned by the lib, including the tokens only the LLM
coordinator emits (accuracy:refuted, file-existence:refuted/indeterminate),
so prose and lib cannot drift. Unclassified reasons default to unverified:
the default fails closed.
~ judgeFilter / reasonablenessFilter return {kept, dropped, unverified}
~ computeVerdict(findings, {unverified, missingReviewers}) -> + allow_blocked_by.
Never raises a verdict, only withholds ALLOW. Unverified findings are NOT
counted into a severity tier: their severity was never substantiated, and
counting it would be invention.
~ runContract(payloads, {expectedReviewers}) -> + unverified,
missing_reviewers, allow_blocked_by. `suppressed` stays the union of
dropped + unverified, so existing consumers (gold-eval) keep their meaning.
agents/review-coordinator.md - Pass 2/3 tables gain a fate column, new
"Suppression is two-valued" section, Pass 4 threshold table gains the two
fail-closed rows, Executive Summary must state a withheld ALLOW, Suppressed
Findings tags each line [dropped]/[unverified]. Pass 3's unknown-rule_key
bullet explicitly says high-effort does not reach that branch, so the same
input never has two documented fates.
commands/trekreview.md - Phase 5 "Reviewer accounting": the expected set is
written down before the spawn, a silent reviewer gets one re-ask and then
STOP. That extends the pattern already in the file (schema failure -> 2
bounded re-asks -> "do not feed unvalidated findings to the coordinator") to
the other two ways a reviewer goes missing, rather than softening it to WARN.
The lib's missing_reviewers stays as belt-and-braces for direct callers.
docs/agent-return-channel-defect.md - the "inferred, not observed" caveat on
the unnamed arm above 66 lines is struck: akashic-intelligence S27
(f168630) measured 2/2 unnamed agents returning against a 4370-line plan,
30449 B and 10989 B, both valid JSON. Recorded with akashic's own two
caveats intact - the measurer owns the finding, and byte-identity between
the returned string and the file on disk was not proven. The separate S25
named-arm figures are left standing; these are two measurements, not a
correction of one by the other.
No release, no version bump, no tag, no catalogue ref, no Workflow port.
Suite 1025 (1023/0/2) -> 1034 (1032/0/2), 0 failures.

Claude Code 2.1.218 changed /deep-research to start only when invoked
manually; from there the Skill tool refuses a model invocation outright
with `disable-model-invocation` (measured in a real `--engine deep-research`
run 2026-09-01 18:32Z - the SC3 fallback to swarm held). The engine was
built against 2.1.196 and the prose still promised a path Claude Code has
removed ("requires Claude Code 2.1.154+").
The flag is KEPT as an additive opt-in that never hard-fails. Prose only:
no lib/ change, no adapter-contract change, no default change, no version
bump.
- commands/trekresearch.md: flag bullet states the closed window
`2.1.154 <= CC < 2.1.218`; the pre-gate gained an UPPER ceiling (still a
numeric comparison, not a string one) that skips straight to the fallback
with reason `disable-model-invocation`; step 3 names the Skill-tool
refusal as a known failure manifestation; step 4 lists the reason tokens.
- docs/command-modes.md + README.md: same window, one sentence each, on the
reference row itself.
- CHANGELOG.md: Unreleased/Docs entry.
Tests first (Iron Law): tests/lib/doc-consistency.test.mjs gained a pin
requiring 2.1.218 + disable-model-invocation on all three surfaces, on both
reference rows, and in both load-bearing regions of the command (flag
bullet + pre-gate). Seen red on all three surfaces before the prose change.
tests/commands/trekresearch-engine.test.mjs unchanged and green.
New baseline: 1024 tests, 1022 pass / 0 fail / 2 skip (was 1023: 1021/0/2).

commands/trekplan.md:885 documents the effort=='low' route into the
--quick-equivalent code-path, not the --quick flag itself. Quote :122 as the
primary source and describe :885 as the second way in, so the anchor says what
the line actually says.
External assessment from claude-playlist-corpus, verified per tiltak against
code in this repo and against the claude-code-llm-wiki OKF bundle (bundle wins
on feature claims). No implementation — scope-guard.
Verdicts across the six tiltak:
1. Workflow port — split, not global. /trekreview is already ported (opt-in
--workflow) and measured fidelity-equivalent; /trekplan and /trekresearch are
unported, but the claimed benefit is UNMEASURED, not refuted. T2's +4.4% is
subagent tokens and states main context is uncounted; T1's Δ≈0 covers Phase 7
synthesis only. The measurement design already exists in T1-cc26. Measure
before porting.
2. Holdout — (a) and (b) hold today but are uncodified; (d) is already partly
there; (c) fail-closed is a REAL defect. computeVerdict counts only kept
findings, so a dropped or unreturned finding is arithmetically identical to
one that never existed. Codified in lib/review/coordinator-contract.mjs, so
it is testable test-first.
3. Lightweight lane — narrower than stated: --quick exists but does not bypass
the 2.2 framing gate. Already an open operator decision.
4. Definition-of-done as object — confirmed gap, but it is a Handover 1
breaking change (brief_version bump), not a cheap edit.
5. Prune — mostly already decided: synthesis-agent dormant by measurement, the
24 opus pins are an operator pin with a decision record (40d8742), and
gemini-bridge is already flagged DROP→NATIVE.
6. LSP — confirmed absent.
Bundle-gap: V2 overstates two Workflow primitives (token budgets, automatic
retry — neither documented on the mirrored page) and omits that resumability is
session-scoped, which matters for a multi-session tool.
akashic-intelligence recovered its four S25 agents' on-disk final text against
the full 3730-line / 277 KB plan (commit e281a9d): 4/4 produced correct output,
delivery alone failed. That closes the size-dependent-work question the caveat
left open. It does not close the returning arm above 66 lines -- all four of
their cells were named -- so that stays stated as inferred, not observed.

The five mute teammates surfaced nine minutes after finishing - as
content-free idle notifications. That is akashic's "innholdslose idle-pings"
verbatim, and it arrived after the write-up was committed, so it is added
here as the field signature to recognise the defect by.
Two readable facts in it:
- `summary` is populated only for the teammate that called SendMessage; the
five tool-less ones carry no content at all, not even an error. Presence of
`summary` is the fastest mute-vs-delivering discriminator.
- The pings lag by minutes (ctrl-pong went idle 10s after spawn, notified ~9
min later), so "no ping yet" is not evidence of work in progress and the
ping is not a result. Judging liveness from these is how a finished run gets
re-prompted nine times.
Suite unchanged: 1013 (1011/0/2).

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014MfB5Ecp8vvGyou8uFGxBV
akashic-intelligence lost /trekplan Phase 9 twice to reviewer agents that
never returned. Reproduced here and measured: the cause is the Agent tool's
`name` parameter, not the agent definitions.
Passing `name` does not label a subagent - it changes its kind. The spawn is
recorded as taskKind "in_process_teammate" (spawnDepth 0) instead of a real
subagent (spawnDepth 1). A teammate's final assistant text is not a return
value; it reaches the parent only if the teammate itself calls
SendMessage(to: "main"). plan-critic and scope-guardian declare
tools: [Read, Glob, Grep] - no SendMessage - so as teammates they are
structurally incapable of returning, whatever the prompt says.
Denominators: named 0/5 returned; named + explicit SendMessage 1/1; unnamed
3/3 (plan-critic and scope-guardian each returned full findings + the JSON
block in ~110s). Model override 2/2 non-returning, so the override is not
the variable. All 5 named agents produced correct final text in their
transcripts - only delivery failed, and that output is recoverable on disk.
The defect is a harness behaviour, so it is documented rather than silently
worked around: docs/agent-return-channel-defect.md carries the mechanism,
every denominator, the two broken queries that nearly became facts, the
unmeasured cells, and a recommended working shape for consumers (use agents,
drop `name`; do not fall back to inline review, which costs the dedup step).
Prevention is pinned, TDD red->green: the four spawning commands each state
the rule and name the mechanism, and doc-consistency derives the spawning set
from the command files so the pin cannot go vacuous.
Suite 1013 (1011/0/2), +5 from baseline 1008.

The bounded-cost NFR asks for explicit ceilings on BOTH axes - max
conversation turns and max discovered dimensions. The turn axis got
MAX_CONV_TURNS, a ledger-backed reader and a PreToolUse enforcer. The
discovery axis got one sentence in Phase 4.5 prose ("append candidates only
while the whole list stays at or below maxDimensions: 8") with no constant
of its own, no reader, and no test that a run exceeding it is caught. That
is the brief_reviewer_iter_cap shape the operator decision warned about: a
cap nothing reads.
checkDimensionCeiling() is the reader, exposed on the CLI as
--check-dimensions N (exit 0 within, exit 1 rejected), and Phase 4.5 step 3
now calls it once the final list is settled instead of merely describing the
bound.
Three deliberate choices:
- The ceiling IS MAX_TOTAL_DIMENSIONS, the constant that sizes the turn
budget. Both axes read one settings.json:16 value, so they cannot end up
enforcing different numbers - a second constant is how that drift starts.
- An unreadable count is REJECTED ('abc', null, undefined, {}, -1, NaN,
non-integers). A cost ceiling that waves through what it cannot measure is
not a ceiling.
- --check-dimensions requires no run id, effort or VOYAGE_STORM_ENABLED.
Phase 4.5 never calls the budget gate - that is why its skip-guard reads
the flag directly - so the ceiling check must not inherit the gate's
preconditions.
The mitigation the review already verified still holds and is unchanged:
MAX_TOTAL_DIMENSIONS bounds actual retrieval cost regardless of how many
dimensions discovery appends. What was missing was anything that FAILS on a
list over the bound, and now a run over it is rejected by exit code.

DEFAULT_TTL_MS was 6h, measured from marker.startedAt rather than last
activity, and `claude --resume` keeps the same session_id - so a run that
died holding its marker handed the resumed session the remainder of that
window, denying every WebSearch/WebFetch/Task including work unrelated to
research. The header's design goal ("An unrelated session must never be
denied") held across sessions and read as broader than it was: by this
scope key a resume IS the same session.
Three changes, none of which pretends to close it:
- The tombstone boundary (32e20fc) already removed the common case. A run
that crashed MID-loop leaves no denial record, so the resume is allowed;
only a crash AFTER the cap denied a turn opens a window at all. Pinned by
a test with a part-spent ledger and no tombstone.
- TTL 6h -> 2h. A 24-turn loop at a couple of minutes per turn is under an
hour, so nothing needed six, and debris no longer owns the rest of the
working day.
- Every denial now prints the marker path with "if this loop is not
running, delete it", plus the auto-reset horizon. The window existed
before with no stated remedy, which is what made it expensive.
A liveness check would close it properly. This hook has nothing
trustworthy to check liveness against - the marker's writer is a shell
snippet whose $$ is a subshell, not the session - so the limit is written
into the header as a limit instead of being papered over.

The SC asks two things of an effort: high run: that it discovered at least
one dimension AND that the dimension list in the output brief is a TRUE
SUPERSET of the interview-derived ones. activationCheck computed
dimensions - dimensions_baseline >= 1 and returned ok on that alone. A
count delta says nothing about membership: a run that dropped two
interview dimensions and appended three discovered ones is +1 and passed
the check while violating the second half outright. Supersetness was
asserted only by Phase 4.5's prose contract that discovery appends -
nothing read it.
The stats record cannot carry the dimension names that would show it
directly: names are free prose, and lib/exporters/field-allowlist.mjs
denies prose by omission (question, project_dir, brief_path are already
excluded for that reason). So the run attests membership with
dimensions_baseline_preserved, a boolean set in a new Phase 4.5 step 5,
and the gate refuses to call activation OK without it. An ABSENT
attestation fails rather than falling back to the old count-only rule -
otherwise legacy rows would keep passing on the defect.
Producer side wired end to end: the record format, the measurement-fields
prose (five fields -> six), the exporter allowlist, the jsonl-schemas
fixture row, and the --activation-check comment in
docs/storm-measurement.md.

Two defects in the adoption gate, both in the direction that flatters
adoption.
1. A non-numeric empty_turns counted as an eligible run.
Number('many') is NaN, and the test was `Number.isFinite(empty) &&
empty > 0`, so NaN fell through to the eligible branch. Measured
before: 0 -> eligible, 2 -> excluded, undefined -> eligible, null ->
eligible, 'many' -> ELIGIBLE, NaN -> ELIGIBLE. The exclusion is one of
the two properties docs/storm-measurement.md names as carrying this
gate's honesty, and the run whose bookkeeping broke is the run whose
numbers deserve the least trust. Now excluded. Absent and null stay
eligible via `?? 0` - a field never written is a genuine zero on a run
where the loop never armed.
2. The printed threshold line said "adopt >= 30.0% on BOTH - decline <
15.0% on BOTH" while decideVerdict evaluates OR on both sides. S82
restored the pre-registered OR rule in the logic (c37bf50d) and left
this line describing the stricter AND gate, one line above the verdict
that OR produced. The summary is the only form of the rule most readers
ever see, so it now states EITHER on both sides and that adopt wins
ties. Found while fixing (1); not a review finding.
A test pins the printed line against the string "on BOTH" so the two
cannot drift apart again silently.
